Committee recommends five preferred qualifications for superintendent posting

The committee discussed minimum versus preferred qualifications and moved toward a short, testable set of preferences to use in prescreening and scoring. Chair said policy defines minimums while the committee can set preferred attributes "to give us leeway," and members repeatedly proposed a short list of five preferred items: at least five years in administration, Spanish-speaking/bilingual ability, experience managing a public budget, labor-relations and negotiations experience, and involvement in community partnerships.
